pict

Optional. A PICT object that receives the current contents of a visible HTMLCONTROL object.

Flags Affected: EOS, OVER, ZERO

Note the following:

1. The {pict} object is destroyed before the new picture is stored.

2. The visible area of the HTMLCONTROL is stored as the image in the {pict} object.

3. The EOS, OVER, and ZERO flags are always cleared (i.e., FALSE).

4. The method does not transfer any data into the PICT return object when the HTMLCONTROL is not activated. If no data is retrieved, the PICT object is not created after the method is completed. The TEST or MOVE object to object instruction can determine if the picture is created after the method is completed.
